When I was a young man I was let astray
|
I met with a body down in Logy Bay
|
We went out in a weather
|
We wore out our shoes,
|
And up Kingsway road for a drink or two
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten
|
Drink 'er up boys its well after ten. [Repeat]
|
|
Some people say that the pinky is fine
|
Others will swear by a drop of moonshine
|
But as for myself I'm a bottle of each,
|
mixed in with a gallon of dipper or screech
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Its the old shavin' lotion thats made me this way
|
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
|
And when in the evening when we're feeling fine
|
We'll stop into Jakey's for icon and shine
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Its the old shavin' lotion thats made me this way
|
Sweeter than Pepsi and stronger than tea
|
And when in the morning when I'm feeling rough
|
I curse, ol' Jakey who sold me this stuff
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
